SHRUBS for FLOWER and FOLIAGE 
Sturdy Plants for Northern Gardens 
S HRUBS are very important to the landscape beauty of the home grounds. A large area of our nursery 
and the skill of experienced gardeners is devoted to developing our shrubs into sturdy, handsome plants 
that will quickly bring beauty to your home property. 
There are so many types of shrubs—so many variations as to character of growth and flowering habit— 
that you are sure to find many attractive kinds to fill any need you may have. Ask us freely for advice and 
suggestions as to arranging the plants in the most pleasing way.
